In Oracle 10g, one of the major changes to the database was the AWR and the ADDM.
AWR (Automatic Workload Repository)
Purpose: To collect statistics about the database automatically, without DBA intervention.
Snapshots of the database are taken every hour by default, and statistics derived from these snapshots are saved for 7 days by default.
The statistics are created through a separate background process called MMON (manageability monitor process).
ADDM (Automatic Database Diagnostic Monitor)
Purpose: To analyze the data in the AWR, without DBA intervention. The ADDM will analyze the statistics and save the results in the database. If the parameter STATISTICS_LEVEL is set to TYPICAL or ALL, ADDM is triggered every hour by default, right after a new snapshot has been taken by the AWR.
Minimalistic Oracle contains a collection of practical examples from my encounters with Oracle technologies. When relevant, I also write about other technologies, like Linux or PostgreSQL. Many of the posts starts with "how to" since they derive directly from my own personal experience. My goal is to provide simple examples, so that they can be easily adapted to other situations.

set linesize 200 set pagesize 0 select * from table (dbms_xplan.display_awr( '44snxh96pfuxb',1084138060,null, 'TYPICAL'));Where
- the first argument is the SQL id
- the second argument is plan hash value (optional)
- the third argument the DB_ID. If not specified, the value from V$DATABASE is used
- the fourth argument is the format string. TYPICAL is the default value.
